De Gaulle By Julian Jackson Harvard University Press August 2018 928 pages
In his magisterial biography of de Gaulle, Julian Jackson has done us a great service: he has distilled the thousands of books and articles about Charles de Gaulle into a brilliant, fascinating biography. He has written, in fact, the definitive English-language biography of de Gaulle.
Former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld announced today in New Hampshire that he is starting an exploratory committee "to challenge" President Donald Trump in next year's primaries for the 2020 GOP presidential nomination.
Weld, who served in MA from 1990 to 1997 as a Republican, ran as the vice presidential candidate on the Libertarian Party ticket in 2016 with Gary Johnson.
